Guiye Frayo
Guiye Frayo is a London-based Argentine indie duo consisting of members Guillermo Martinez Ipucha and Veronica Santillo.[1] Their music has elements of different styles, combining pop, rock, psychedelic, electronica, dance, and experimental to create a unique sound. They not only play conventional instruments (guitars, keyboards, and drums) but also the theremin, circuit-bent toys, and vintage synthesizers, among others. So far, they have released two albums, nine EPs, nine singles, and two video clips. They are currently working on new material. HistoryGuiye Frayo was originally a solo project by Guillermo. He had met Veronica in a previous band in which they played together, and Guillermo decided to turn his soloist project into a band in 2007. After relocating to London, they met Jordan, who joined them on drums during 2010, when they recorded "A Magnetic Field Called love"[2] In 2006 they won the Argentine bands/soloists contest "Vale por un video Clip" for the song "Arcoiris en un ojo",[3] organized by FM La Tribu, Buenos Aires, Argentina. The judges were Tom Lupo (Argentine radio host, poet and psychologist), Guillermo pintos[4] (Rolling Stone Argentina magazine at the time) and MTV Latin America VJ and Ruth Infarinato; the prize was the filming of a videoclip to the winning song. The video clip was made by Cine Humus,[5] and won Best Video Clip at "Festival de Audiovisuales de La Plata"[6] English actress Emma Kennedy once suggested "Autumn Freaks" as song of the day in her blog.[7] They performed a live session at Balcony TV- London[8] in August 2009 where they played an unusual toy based set up. In 2010 "Portrait", "The Walk" and "Funky Monkey" were broadcast on Japan radio Takaoka[9] The band was introduced by Tom Robinson on BBC Radio 6 (BBC Introducing) several times, for the first time in 2008[10] with the song "Vida Minima", then in 2010 with "The Walk", again in 2011 Tom Robinson officially presented "A Magnetic Field Called Love" single release,[11] the video clip to the song was launched the same week.
